Imperial Visions and Narrations

Imperial Visions and Narrations

Sema Emel Göksel

Lap Lambert Academic Publishing

This book analyses novels written about the British India of the 1857-1947 era. The novels have been chosen according to their authors' personal experience in India and the times and themes of their concern. They are not only classic works of literature, but also valuable sources of information about the birth, rise, and fall of imperialist ideologies and practices in India. The analysis of the narrations of Kipling, Forster, Orwell, Narayan, and Scott reveals not only the effects of imperialism on the colonizers and the colonized, but also a dominant discourse that emerges especially from the English authors and seems to be strikingly parallel to the historiography on the period. The deconstruction of these myths about India and the revelation of the imperial process, especially from a social and cultural perspective, is important as some of these myths about India are still alive today.

With the ever rising demand for meat around the world, the production of meat has changed dramatically in the past few decades. What has brought about the increasing popularity and attendant normalization of factory farms across many parts of the world? What are some of the ways to resist such broad convergences in meat production and how successful are they? This book locates the answers to these questions at the intersection between the culture, science and political economy of meat production and consumption. It details how and why techniques of production have spread across the world, albeit in a spatially uneven way. It argues that the modern meat production and consumption sphere is the outcome of a complex matrix of cultural politics, economics and technological faith. Drawing from examples across the world (including America, Europe and Asia), the tensions and repercussions of meat production and consumption are also analyzed. From a geographical perspective, food animals have been given considerably less attention compared to wild animals or pets. This book, framed conceptually by critical animal studies, governmentality and commodification, is a theoretically driven and empirically rich study that advances the study of food animals in geography as well as in the wider social sciences.

Non-spectral Asymptotic Analysis of One-Parameter Operator Semigroups
In this book, non-spectral methods are presented and discussed that have been developed over the last two decades for the investigation of asymptotic behavior of operator semigroups. This concerns in particular Markov semigroups in L1-spaces, motivated by applications to probability theory and dynamical systems. Recently many results on the asymptotic behaviour of Markov semigroups were extended to positive semigroups in Banach lattices with order-continuous norm, and to positive semigroups in non-commutative L1-spaces. Related results, historical notes, exercises, and open problems accompany each chapter.
